Youngsters get taste of college life By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com

NORTH MANCHESTER — Nearly 1,200 elementary school students from Wabash and Whitley counties attended Manchester University’s 4th annual “Walk Into My Future” event Friday, Sept. 30. More than 200 MU students led the visitors through a variety of activities designed to teach them more about college and get them excited about the possibilities of higher educa-

tion. During a brief break from activities, the students heard from Manchester University President Dave McFadden, Director of Community Outreach for Parkview Health Curtis Smith, and Wabash County YMCA CEO Clint Kugler. “I’m going to say, ‘I’ve got what it-’ and you’ll answer with what?” Kugler asked. “Takes!” was the reply. “Right! You all have what it takes to go to college,” he said.

“Walk Into My Future” is part of the Wabash County Promise, which helps give children opportunities to think about and save for their futures. At school registrations throughout the county, children in kindergarten through third grade were invited to open CollegeChoice 529 Direct Savings Account as part of the Wabash County Promise. The event took place in MU’s Physical Education and Recreation Center due to rain. (continued on page 15)

The MSD of Wabash County School Board will be formally inviting Wabash City Schools and Manchester Community Schools boards of education to a tri-partite executive session to discuss topics including declining enrollment, feasibility studies and consolidation. The MSD Board unanimously approved the recommendation to invite the other two county school

districts at its meeting Tuesday night, Sept. 27. The Board originally considered a recommendation to invite Wabash City’s Board to the discussion until MSD Board Vice President John Gouveia advised that the board should expand the invitation. “I’d rather put it on the table, I’ve got a motion for an invitation to all school districts in the Wabash County for a tri-partite discussion on the issues of declin(continued on page 15)

County celebrates state’s Bicentennial By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Mother Nature tried, but she couldn’t dampen the spirit of Wabash County residents on Wednesday, Sept. 28, as they gathered along the county’s roadsides to celebrate Indiana’s 200th birthday. The Indiana Bicentennial Torch made its way through the county Wednesday afternoon, traveling from LaFontaine to Wabash to North Manchester before ending in Paradise Spring for a brief ceremony featuring state and local officials. Mayor Scott Long received the torch in LaFontaine and, with police escort, rode with it on the Wabash County Trolley No.85. Long left the Trolley in

front of the Wabash County Convention and Visitors Bureau office on Main Street. From there, he walked and ran it up Miami Street to Hill Street where he passed it off to Natalie Unger, the second of 16 torchbearers. “It kind of really set in as I started out along the Miami Street hill that this was a part of history that we were creating,” Long told The Paper of Wabash County. “I only made it three quarters of the way up the hill, but that’s pretty good for an old guy.” Torchbearers made their way along Miami Street to Harrison Avenue and then to Wabash Street, stopping at O.J. Neighbours Elementary School where Michael Beauchamp handed the torch off to North Manchester businessman

Brady Burgess. Burgess rode the Trolley to North Manchester, where he disembarked on the edge of Manchester University. From there he ran to near the Jo Young Switzer Student Union Building where he passed the torch off to MU President Dr. Dave McFadden. In North Manchester, the flame made a stop in front of the home of former Vice President Thomas Marshall for a brief ceremony. The Peabody Singers performed songs including “Back Home Again in Indiana” as part of the ceremony. Winding its way through the town, Manchester High School teacher Jabin Burnworth eventually passed the torch to Wabash businessman Sam (continued on page 16)

He thanked his employees for their hard work and dedication over the last 30 years. Brown said that he chose Parkview because of the wide range of services they provide, and their years of experience in the field. Dan Garman, senior vice president of prehospital and emer-

In addition to Brown, Garman and Marilyn CusterMitchell, president of Parkview Wabash Hospital, met with North Manchester and Wabash County officials and the North Manchester Fire Department to understand how LifeMed currently operates, and to begin to determine the future of the service.

“Effective at midnight on Oct. 1, we will transition what is known today as LifeMed to Parkview EMS, servicing Wabash and Kosciusko counties,” Garman said. All LifeMed employees were offered employment through Parkview, with all but two accepting. Those employees making the transition will undergo training through Parkview to ensure consistency throughout the organization. The only change from LifeMed’s current operating prac-

gency services for Parkview Health, met with Brown shortly after Parkview’s purchase of Wabash County Hospital to discuss how the two companies could best work together to serve the county. It was then that Brown mentioned an interest in selling LifeMed. “We started changing our focus,” Garman said. “Over the last several months we’ve been working with Chris to purchase the ambulance service with the understanding and commitment from Parkview to continue to operate LifeMed in the same manner Chris has been for many years.” Brown founded LifeMed EMS in 1985, and became Wabash County’s first paramedic EMS provider in 1993. It remained the only paramedic EMS provider until 2000, when the Wabash Fire Department added that service. Since then, LifeMed has also added wheelchair and ambulatory transportation services. It also provides hospital-to-hospital

tices will be to relocate the reserve ambulance to Parkview Wabash Hospital to assist with transfers. This will add jobs in the area, as that ambulance currently is not manned. According to Eric Clabaugh, director of communications for Parkview, there will be no change in how patient care is delivered, including the patient’s choice of hospital. “If a patient requests to go to a hospital other than one owned by Parkview, or if their insurance dictates so, that will be how care is delivered,” he said. Garman said Parkview has been working with WFD Chief Barry Stroup to ensure both organizations’ commitment to serving the community through 911 responses is always met. Parkview recently opened a freestanding ER in Warsaw, which will be serviced in part by the ambulance working out of Silver Lake. That ambulance also serves the Town of Sidney, Jackson Township and Lake T o w n s h i p . A d d i t i o n a l l y, Parkview has a mutual aid agreement that allows it to provide backup services in Seward Township and Mentone. “We have recontracted with all of those areas and will continue to serve them just as LifeMed did,” Custer-Mitchell said. The North Manchester ambulance services the Town of North Manchester, as well as Chester and Pleasant townships. “Due to the fact that (continued on page 3)

C o m m u n i t y involvement and personalized education are hallmarks of M a n c h e s t e r University. MU President Dave McFadden presented information about the university at a community breakfast Wednesday, Sept. 28. He emphasized the university’s dedication to teaching students to go out and make the world a better place. “The great news about Manchester is we’re an experiential place, we’re a handson place. So, lots of our students, faculty and staff do that during their time here at Manchester. They don’t wait until they graduate,” he said. According to M c F a d d e n , Manchester’s 1,600 students performed 60,000 hours of community service last year. “That’s an enormous amount of time put into the community,” he said.

WARSAW — Four North Manchester residents were arrested Monday, Sept. 26 on charges of corrupt business influence and theft. John L. Glenn, 61, is charged with one count of corrupt busi-

(November 2004), both in Elkhart County. Frances Moore, 61, is charged with one count of corrupt business influence, a level 5 felony; one count of theft, a level 6 felony; three counts of theft, class A misdemeanors; and one count of attempted theft, a class A misdemeanor. Shirley A. Winkler, 79, is charged with one count of corrupt business influence, a level 5 felony; one count of theft, a level 6 felony; two counts of theft, class A misdemeanors; and one count of attempted theft, a class A misdemeanor. According to an affidavit of probable cause obtain from the Warsaw Police Department, the four suspects were seen by an asset protection employee allegedly leaving the Warsaw Walmart with unpaid merchandise on Monday, Aug. 15. They were confront-

ed, and left the cart in the lobby before three of them left in a vehicle registered to Moore. A Warsaw officer located and pulled over the vehicle, which was driven by Johnson. Moore and Winkler were passengers. Walmart surveillance video and records identified the fourth suspect as Glenn. The affidavit states that, on July 28, Moore and Glenn returned a ladder to Walmart, receiving a refund. They then proceeded to take another ladder from the store without paying. Surveillance video shows that on Aug. 5, Glenn, Johnson, Moore and Winkler visited the store. They worked together to choose merchandise, then exited without paying. The same routine occurred on Aug. 11 and 14 as well. The affidavit lists the items allegedly

Group to refurbish South Side Park By The Paper staff

A committee of volunteers has organized to give South Side Park an overhaul. Initial plans include the installation of a new playground system, parking, benches, and a walking path, among other amenities. The group also intends to resurface the basketball court, landscape the area, and create a new entrance to the park from Vernon Street The project is being co-chaired by Mitch Figert, City Councilman for the south side, and local attorney Jordan Tandy. Other committee members include Pat Brekke, Beth Miller, April Nicely, Jennifer Scott, Brian Scramlin, Jay Vandeburg, and Judy Ward. “There haven’t been any updates of any significance made to South Side Park in quite some time, and it shows,” said Figert. “The play equipment is worn and outdated, and there’s not much there to attract families and children. We hope that the upgrades

that we have planned will activate the space and make it more of a destination for those who live on the south side.” The group is currently in the fundraising and planning stage and hopes to make the improvements in the spring or summer of 2017. “We have a goal to raise $50,000 to be able to do everything that we want to do,” said Tandy. “The more money we raise, the bigger the playground.” The Wabash Kiwanis Club got the project off the ground with a $10,000 donation. Ward, the Kiwanis Club president, said “the Kiwanis Club’s mission is to serve the children of the world, and we’re always looking for ways to do that locally. Our board believes that upgrading the park is a great way to serve families and children on the south side of town.” The City of Wabash has made a commitment to match Kiwanis’s donation. I believe as mayor if we have a service

organization, such as the Kiwanis, that wants to take the lead in refurbishing a City Park, the least we as a City can do is match their $10,000 donation,” Long told The Paper of Wabash County. “This is a prime example of a public-private partnership working to benefit all of our community. “The previous park work at Hannah Park led to an outstanding result as I’m sure this endeavor by the Kiwanis at Southside Park will too! Tandy said, “We are fortunate to have the support of the City for this project. Since Mayor Long took office, he has shown himself to be willing to invest in quality of place initiatives that benefit Wabash in a lot of different ways. This project probably wouldn’t be possible without his support, as well as the support of Adam Hall and the Park Board.” “Adam Hall, the Parks Department, and their board do a great job with the upkeep of the parks, but like everyone else they are limited with their

budget and there is only so much that falls within their scope of responsibility. We felt that it was our duty as a local service organization to step up and do our part to make sure that the park stays attractive, safe, and fun for families in that area.” Last week, the committee received a $500 award from Heartland REMC’s Operation Round Up grant program. “We’ve gotten off to a great start with fundraising, and we’re so appreciative of the groups like Kiwanis and Heartland REMC that have already committed to supporting us. But we still have a long way to go,” said Miller. A fundraising dinner catered by Dan’s Fish & Tenderloin is scheduled for Oct. 22nd at Zion Lutheran Church on 173 Hale Dr. Tickets are $10 at the door and $9 in advance for adults, and $8 at the door and $7 in advance for children ages 6 through 12. Children under 6 are free. Those interested in purchasing tickets may contact

percent raise – roughly $1,295 – from the budget. Long, during the 2015 campaign, said he wouldn’t accept a pay raise. None-the-less, Council members opted to include one for him, along with the 2 percent across the board raises city employees will receive next year. Dillon, Figert and Greene, during discussions Monday, said they believed that Long has worked hard and has done many good things his first year in office and deserved the raise. They also were concerned that not granting him a raise would throw budget figures out of whack in years to come, allowing a future mayor to have a raise of 8 or 10 percent. “Mayor, I appreciate you asked for your 2 percent increase to be removed,” Figert said. “My concern is, however, is that part of our role is to look at the longevity of the city moving forward. If we don’t keep your pay growing at the same rate as department heads, in a couple years we could have department heads in the same ballpark that we have the mayor’s salary.” He said the department heads have all done a fine job and the council believes Long has done an outstanding job. “If we’re going to do a 2 percent increase it should be all or none,” Figert said. “If we don’t want it, we can donate it to a charity or back to the city. I think it needs to be every employee. That way we keep the rates moving along at the same pace.” Dillon noted that in

budget reviews, the mayor was adamant that he would not accept a raise. “The council did agree, consensus in that meeting, that it would go ahead with a 2 percent raise,” the council member continued. “Then it came around the table for the council raise. I think all of us can sit here and agree that we don’t sit here and do our duty for the city because of a paid position. It’s not about the money.” A few years back, the council forewent raises and, when it came time to catch up, council members received a thousand dollar raise. “In the public eye, that looks kind of extensive,” Dillon said. “The past administration always encouraged the council to keep up and take the raise because it thought we should stay consistent. This year, we kind of agreed that we wouldn’t and then we left the budget meeting agreeing that we would. I propose that the budget should stay the same as what we talked about in the hearing, to include the mayor’s 2 percent raise. I know that’s against his wishes, because he said he wouldn’t take a raise. What he chooses to do with that raise is his own business. I think we need to at least give the position a raise, and certainly the man has deserved it.” Greene also spoke in favor of the mayor’s raise. “Scott’s done an excellent job to this point and he needs to be rewarded, whether it be a handshake or a thank you for what you’ve

done,” he said. “When it comes to budget time and money, I think he should be rewarded for what he’s doing.” Figert noted that the council is responsible for managing the budget. “I appreciate the mayor’s wishes, but ultimately it is not the mayor’s budget, it is our budget,” he said. “We approve the budget and the mayor has to operate in it. “I appreciate the mayor’s wishes, but I think as a council we have to look beyond Mayor Long, and we have to think about in four years, what’s this do if we don’t keep the positions growing at the same rate.” However, Council member Doug Adams said the Council should heed Long’s request and not force a raise upon him. “The mayor, during his campaign, indicated he would not take a raise, whether it be one year or four years, that’s beside the point,” he said. “The issue is what the mayor himself wants, and I know if I myself had made the commitment … to not take a raise, then that’s what I would want, no matter what anyone says.” Adams also recommended that the Council eliminate its 2 percent raise, which would have been roughly $133 per member. Council member Bonnie Corn said if there were more jobs and more people coming into the City of Wabash, a raise would be appropriate. “But I don’t think that’s here yet,” she said.

The entry fee includes a workout, a T-shirt, and an entry into a raffle. Those interested may contact Jakae at 260-330-2093. Figert said that the response from the community has been very positive so far. “We just set up a Facebook page called the South Side Park Project. We plan to use that to give

Council member Marc Shelley said he respects the mayor’s wishes. “And from what he said during the campaign, it would be ingenuous of us as a council to force him to break his word,” Shelley continued. “He pledged his honor to the public and we’re asking him to now do something dishonorable.” Long said that was his reason for not seeking a raise during the budget meeting, noting, “I don’t want to go back on my word.” “I appreciate the thoughts that everyone shared, and I think if you sat down and figured a 2 percent raise, the council won’t catch me in two years,” he said. Figert said that in four years, the gap between the mayor and the department heads would be narrowed to about $500. But Adams said that the council could increase the mayor’s salary at any time to avoid the narrowing of the gap. “So you would rather increase the mayor’s salary 8 percent in four years,” Figert asked Adams. “It doesn’t make any difference if we know that it’s coming,” Adams replied. “It could be 10 percent. If all the mayors in the state of Indiana get a 10 percent raise, it might be that number. We would have to look at that at that period of time, not right now when we’re talking about the current mayor’s wishes.” The council will consider the budget on second reading when it meets Tuesday, Oct. 11.

people updates on the project and get some ideas and feedback from the community.” The committee is accepting donations from local businesses and individuals. Gifts of at least $250 will be recognized through a plaque installed at the park. In addition to financial contributions, the committee is seeking in-kind donations of services from local businesses. “We are looking for a construction or excavating company to help us with leveling the site to prepare it for the playground,” Tandy said. “We could also use contributions from a landscaping company or a

printing company to donate t-shirts to our volunteers. The more of those types of services that we can have donated, the more funds we will have available to use for the playground.” The committee is encouraging anyone who is interested to become involved with the project. “We would love to receive input from the community,” said Figert. “At the end of the day, this is a neighborhood park, and the neighbors of the park will be the ones using it. We’d love to hear what improvements they would like to see, and we’ll do our best to make them happen.”

BZA OKs variance for Lutheran Health facility By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Lutheran Health cleared one hurdle in pursuit of opening a medical office facility in Wabash. It still has several hurdles to clear before the facility becomes a reality. The Wabash Board of Zoning Appeals granted a variance for the facility by a 4-1 vote Thursday night.

The variance was needed because part of the facility is in an area zoned General Business, while the other part – primarily the parking lot – is in an area zoned Residential, attorney Rick Fisher told the board. Plans call for the facility to be located on Alber Street, immediately south of the Miller’s Merry Manor facility.

“The purpose of the building is to house, as I understand it, doctor’s offices,” Fisher said. “It will also house suites and facilities for what they call ‘time share’ for specialists to come in from Fort Wayne to see patients locally. “It will also house an urgent care facility, which I don’t think we have in Wabash now.” Without the vari-

ance, the project cannot take place, he added. The property has water coming on to it, Fisher noted, and the developer needs to stop that from happening. “There are two sources of problems,” Fisher said. “The first is the northern point of the six-acre tract is roughly eight feet higher than our prop(continued on page 10)

into the detention pond, slow down the release and it will go into the state highway drain – only if we get a permit from the State Highway Department – build up the property along the northwest side of the property to force the water as it comes under 24 to do what it’s supposed to do and go southwest and go down.” That will allow the company to build the building, and it will substantially improve McCallen’s property. McCallen said the drainage issue has been ongoing for about 50 years, and a solution has yet to be determined. In addition, his attorney, Steve Downs, also argued that granting a variance for the plan was not the way to proceed. Rather, he contended, rezoning the property should be the way to go. Kyle Witwer of W i t w e r Construction/GreenS tar Development,

which is overseeing the proposed work, reiterated to BZA members the work won’t completely solve McCallen’s problem, but should help with it. However, before the work can proceed it must be approved by, among others, the city’s engineering firm, United Consulting. Fisher also noted that rezoning the property to general business wouldn’t be wise because should the medical facility not come to fruition, it would pave the way for other businesses which might not conducive to the neighborhood could move in. The board approved the variance 4-1. Witwer told The Paper of Wabash County after the meeting that the next step is to complete a primary development plan. The company also will sit down with INDOT to discuss the drainage issue.

County Council adopts 2017 budget By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash County Council approved the adoption of its 2017 budget Monday night, Sept. 26. In a 6-1 vote, the Council adopted the budget as it was approved of on Sept. 12 at $8,365,918. Chairman Mike Ridenour was the lone vote against the adoption. From Sept. 6-8,

approximately $1.7 million was cut from the council’s proposed budget, however the councilmen may have to make additional reductions as the accounts, including the General Fund, which receive property tax revenue, are estimated to be more approximately $50,000 over the state mandated maximum tax levy. On Sept. 8, Deputy Auditor B.J. Grube informed the council that it would have to

make more than $1.8 million to meet the levy’s standards. However, the Council decided Monday to wait until the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance views the budget before making the additional cuts, according to Bill Ruppel, council vice chair. “Maybe they’ll say, ‘You have to cut $44,000,’ and maybe they’ll say, ‘No, it’s fine,’” Ruppel said.

Before approving the budget, Councilman Jeff Dawes commended the various departments for working with the Council as the cuts were made. “I would like to add I feel that, overall, as we went through the budgets, they were all pretty lean,” he said. “Thankfully we were able to move some of those expenses to other accounts, because I think it’d have been really difficult to take that $1.8

million out … with the budgets being as lean as they are. “Thank you to the Auditors office and all other departments for working with us to get all that accomplished.” Ridenour told The Paper of Wabash County he agreed with Dawes’s thoughts on trimming the budget, but there were some parts he didn’t agree with approving. “I wasn’t here for the last meeting (of

Fourth graders attend Ag Day By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Fourth graders from around Wabash County learned about agriculture during the Wabash County Farm Bureau’s annual Ag Day. The youngsters traveled to the Wabash County Fair Ground where they were broken into groups to travel from demonstration to demonstration, spending 12 minutes at each exhibit. “It’s very important for fourth graders in Wabash County to learn about agriculture, number one. It’s 50 percent of our economy in Wabash County,” Wabash County Farm Bureau president Mark York said. “Number 2, it’s important to learn where their food comes from. “So that’s what we’re stressing today is Wabash Agriculture and where their food comes from.” The students received talks on electricity, growing corn and soybeans, how to shear a sheep, and how farming is vital to making a pizza. They also received talks on livestock, robotics, drones and ATV safety. They also were able to participate in a trivia contest, and saw live baby chick, cattle, a mother and daughter dairy goat and two baby pigs. The youngsters also saw a demonstration on how

the budget hearings) and I just think we did a good job on trimming the budgets on what we could,” Ridenour said, “but I just see a lot of expenses being paid out of CEDIT that have nothing to do with economic development and … they’re all related, so that affected the General Fund and other budgets. It’s something I don’t agree with.” In other news, the Council also granted additional appropria-

tions of $20,260 to the Wabash County Commissioners for exam of records and $100,000 to the Wabash County Jail for inmate transfers. Other additional appropriations included $20 to the Veteran Service Office for supplies, $500 for the E m e r g e n c y Management Agency (EMA) for repairs and maintenance and $15,000 to the Wabash County Jail for inmate medical fees.

VIEWPOINT Corn farmers help light torch

OUR VIEW Political letters must follow specific guidelines

The November General Election is just a few weeks away. There are several important local, state, national and school board races on this year’s ballot. Everyone has an opinion on which candidate to support and why. Why not share your thoughts with our readers via a letter to the editor? However, to do so, there are several guidelines which must be adhered to in order to have a letter appear in print. Letters must state a reason as to why you are supporting one particular candidate against another. Letters deemed to be a personal attack against a candidate will not appear. Likewise, any letter deemed to be an attack on a candidate’s family or

business will not be printed. As with our normal letters to the editor, all submissions must be signed by the writer, and must include address and telephone numbers. The latter will not appear in print, but will be in case the writer needs to be contacted with a question. Letters should be limited to 500 words or less. Letters may be mailed, hand delivered, faxed or emailed to The Paper of Wabash County. Information on how to do that appears elsewhere on this page. The last day electionrelated letters will appear in The Paper is Wednesday, Oct. 26. Therefore, the deadline for submitting letters is 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 21.

From the farmer that grows the corn to the ethanol plant that refines it, to the 200 pumps across Indiana fueling the nearly 500,000 Hoosier flex fuel vehicles, today’s consumers have the ability to support homegrown in a

whole new way. And there’s nothing more local than fueling up with something grown just down the road. The ethanol industry is just one great example of Indiana ingenuity.

Kiwanis Club appreciates help Dear Editor: The 20th annual Wabash Kiwanis Club Bucket Brigade for Riley Children’s Hospital was on Saturday, Sept. 17. We were successful in collecting genrous donations from area residents in the amount of $1,380.10, to be sent in full to the hospital. This brings the total our community has sent to Riley hospital over these 20

years to $35,951,81, The Wabash Kiwanis Club thanks every contributor to this cause of supporting the health facility which has done so much for many years for many children. Riley Hospital continues to lead the way in improvements in caring for young people’s various needs with new facilities, equipment and treatment methods.

This year we stationed our buckets at Bechtol Grocery, Wabash Walmart, Big R, Kroger and Save-aLot. We thank these busiensses for their willingness to allow us to use their areas. Indiana Kiwanis clubs continue to unite their efforts to finance needs as they arise at the hospital. The goal this year is $250,000 toward a fouryear commitment of

$1 million. Also, we appreciated very much the help received in publicity through announcements on the two local radio stations, KISSFM, 95.9; and 105.9 The Bash, and news items in The Paper of Wabash County and The Wabash Plan Dealer. - Dr. Robert Mattern, Wabash Kiwanis Club project chair

Local Scouts attend Philmont Scout Ranch Mr. & Mrs. James Clarkson Article provided

On July 5, a contingent of Scouts and leaders from Boy Scout Troop 433 left from Mount Olive United Methodist Church in Marion, Indiana for the Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, N.M. Three of the contingent members were from Wabash County. Chris Hickman, Southwood High School band director, his stepson Nick Berlier, and Grant Whitham. Once they arrived at the Scout Ranch and attended pre-hike training they began a 12-day, 78 mile hike over rugged terrain each caring a 40 pound backpack. Highlights of the trip included exploring Window Rock, Mount Baldy, a bear sighting, and encountering a rattle snake too close to camp. The peak of Mt. Baldy is at an elevation of 12,441 feet; many scouts and leaders were finally able to get enough cell service to call home. Nick Berlier is the son of Tami and Chris Hickman and Doug Berlier of Huntington. Grant Whitham is the son of Doug and Gretchen W h i t h a m , LaFontaine. Both boys hold the rank of Life Scout and are a part of the freshman class at Southwood High School.

Nick Berlier was among the local Boy Scouts to visit the Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, N.M. over the summer. Photos provided

Youngsters get taste of college life

During the visit, the students had a chance to engage with Manchester University student volunteers. They’ll get to see behind-the-scenes of college-level sports teams, and take part in 29 different activities relating to Science, Math, Art, and so much more. More than 200 volunteers will help make this day special, in addition to aboveand-beyond support by Manchester University, Goose Graphics and Dr. John Conner, DDS. Originally initiated by the Wabash County YMCA in

2013, the Wabash County Promise program has been encouraging families to start a CollegeChoice 529 Direct Savings Account for students as early as Kindergarten. Through college visits and career discovery activities, Wabash County Promise also coordinates with local schools to inspire students to consider life after high school. Elementary students leave events like Walk Into My Future with an excitement about college and a hope for their future.

ing enrollment, issues for a feasibility study and what cooperative efforts can be expanded or explored to the betterment of everybody,” Gouveia said. “And it could be, the outcome of all of this, there is no marriage, but if all have some other basis to work with each other on, great. “That’s where I’m coming from at this point. Everything’s got to be on the table.” Additionally, the Board also approved a recommendation to host a pre-meeting with only the schools’ superintendents and board presidents to establish an agenda for the official meeting. The extended invitation was certainly a surprise, according to Dr. Bill Reichhart, MCS superintendent. “At this point in time, we were not aware that MCS would be included by the MSD board on any consolidation,” he said. “We’ve only heard that there could possibly be consolidation talks between Wabash City and MSD of Wabash County. So this came as a surprise to our board and also to me. Once we get the formal invite, if that’s coming our way, we’ll need to discuss this at our future board meetings.” At the moment, it’s premature to know what the Manchester board will say to the invitation, he continued. However, “from my perspective, I always want to do what’s best for Manchester Community Schools, our community and our children, and if that appears that we can work together countywide, I’m more than willing to do that,” Reichhart said. Along with Manchester, Wabash City Schools also reports that it’s still waiting for its formal invitation to the discussion, according to Jason

Callahan, WCS superintendent. “To date, we have not been invited to any meetings with the MSD of Wabash County (board),” Callahan wrote to The Paper of Wabash County in a letter on Friday, Sept. 30.

“Later next week, Mike (Keaffaber, MSD superintendent) and I plan to sit down to talk. “Wabash City Schools maintains a position that school reconfiguration to include consolidation should be discussed with a focus on

unifying the community, increasing opportunities for students and being fiscally responsible. “We look forward to having this conversation,” he concluded.

Frazier. Frazier, who is president of the Paradise Spring Board of Directors and the Wabash County Historical Museum, rode the Trolley to Wabash where he walked from the museum to Paradise Spring and lit a cauldron to celebrate the state’s Bicentennial. “It was wonderful to see as many people come out, considering the weather that we have,” Frazier said. “It’s been a wonderful

day. There’s been so much work and effort put in to organizing this event. I’d like to thank the Indiana Centennial Torch Committee for recognizing Wabash and letting me be a part of it.” Before Frazier lit the cauldron, the American Legion Post No.15 color guard presented the colors while the Wabash High School students performed the national anthem, “Back Home Again, In Indiana” and “Happy Birthday.” Mark Newman, executive director of the Indiana Department of Tourism, greeted the crowd where he thanked Mitch Figert, the Wabash County Historical Museum executive director who headed the county’s Bicentennial Committee, as well as the committee for its efforts. He also thanked the local residents for braving the

elements to take part in the celebration. Figert, likewise, thanked the committee and the torchbearers, who were introduced by emcee Bev Vanderpool. He later joked with The Paper that his “calendar is going to be freed up a lot more.” “We’ve been working on this for over a year, and it’s great to see the event actually come together today,” he continued. “Everything worked like we thought it would. Even with the weather, it was great to see everyone come out and honor the torchbearers that we had today.” He said was pleased with the size of the crowd. “I saw lots of little kids, lots of smiling faces, and that really meant a lot to us,” Figert said. Long read a proclamation declaring Sept. 28 as Bicentennial Day in

the City of Wabash. Burnworth was proclaimed to be the most energetic torchbearer to date by Indiana State Police officials, who have accompanied the torch across the state. Before he received the torch, Burnworth was clapping and cheering as residents would pass by his spot. During his run along Ind. 114, he was whooping and hollering, pumping his fist in the air. Members of the Manchester High School Marching Band drum section kept beat for him at one section of the spot. Meanwhile, several of his students, carrying signs urging him on, ran along the sidewalk to cheer him on. “This means so much to me,” he said. “I was honored to be asked to be a part of this. To be a representative of the North Manchester community makes my heart explode.

“I love that community. I feel like its my home. I thought maybe I’d be there a couple years when I got hired, and I immediately thought I want to spend the rest of my life here. To be a part of that it was exciting. “To have my students out there, my friends, I just wanted to get everyone really, really excited.” Wabash was the 54th of the state’s 92 counties that has had the torch as part of its statewide relay. The torch is slated to travel 3,200 miles around the state before ending up in Indianapolis on Oct. 15 for a celebration on the newly created Bicentennial Plaza west of the Indiana Statehouse. After spending the night in Wabash, the torch and its support crew were to head to Kosciusko, Noble and Whitley counties on the 18th day of the tour.

The 14th annual Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity Chili Cook Off will stir things up at Paradise Spring Historical Park with a little friendly competition and food tastings all for a good cause. Since 2002, the local cook-off has raised and donated more than $430,000 to local charities, which assist Wabash County and area residents in various ways. This year, 10 organizations, including 85

Hope, Arc of Wabash County and the Paradise Spring Historical Park Board, will benefit from the funds. Aiding the county’s free medical services Wabash County’s only free medical clinic, 85 Hope, will be receiving a portion of the Chili Cook Off ’s funds. The clinic, which is for the majority volunteer run, services county resident who are under insured, according to Brenda Landis, who has served the organiza-

tion as a volunteer since it was established in December 2011. “The clinic is mostly run by people and professionals who volunteer their time,” Landis told The Paper of Wabash County in an email. “Our mission statement comes from Jude 22, ‘and on some have compassion.’ Our vision is to bring hope to Wabash County through healthcare.” 85 Hope’s services include primary care for seasonal illnesses, diabetes, heart issues, high blood pressure, digestive issues, injuries, muscular skeletal symptoms and promoting healthy lifestyles through education, according to Landis. A dietitian and physical therapy care are provided upon referral and medications are available for dispensing, she continued. In less than five years, the clinic has grown in its servicing

capacity, Landis said. “It has grown from a two-room office space to a five-room medical clinic,” she explained. “Each month, approximately 50 volunteers serve in various capacities such as hostesses, scheduling, clerical work, dispensing medication. The clinic could not operate without people partnering with us in this ministry. “In August, the clinic served 56 Wabash County residents. On average, the clinic has contact with 50 to 60 clients per month.” The Chili for Charity donation will be used to fund various client care services including x-rays, labs, medical procedures and specialty referrals. “These services are made possible through grants and donations received,” Landis said. “The clinic’s budget is based on this funding.” 85 Hope is located at Wabash Friends (continued on page 18)

18 DINING & ENTERTAINMENT Josh Turner brings country music back to Wabash music crowd and a fun, little town. “I’m looking forward to coming back.” Known for songs including “Long Black Train” and “Punching Bag,” Turner is described as disciple of traditional country music and is one of the youngest members of the Grand Ole Opry. Turner told The Paper he’s enjoyed his singing his newest single, “Hometown Girl,” on this year’s tour. “It’s been great and it’s been very busy,” he said. “The

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Josh Turner, a multi-platinum MCA Nashville country music artist, is no stranger to Wabash’s Honeywell Center Ford Theater and is looking forward to his return on Friday, Oct. 7. “I don’t know how many times I’ve been to Wabash. I’ve lost count I guess, but I always love coming to the Honeywell Center,” Turner told The Paper of Wabash County. “It’s always just a nice venue, great country

first time I heard (the new song), I knew that it had the makings of a big hit. It has a catchy melody, a big chorus and I loved the lyrics. I felt that the lyrics really resonate with, especially, my female fans. “I feel like now it’s really become an anthem for the vast majority of my female fans and it’s really great to see.” Turner told The Paper he has always taken his art very seriously. “I’m one of those kinds of people that are all or nothing. I can’t do something

halfway,” he explained, “and so when it comes to my music, I want it to be the absolute best it can be. So when I go in to sing it, I really want to be able to feel those lyrics. “I’m not going in to record a song because somebody else wanted me to or because I think, ‘This will be a big hit.’ I have to be invested in the song because, I know if it does become a hit, I’ll be singing it night after night after night and I don’t want it to get old with me or I don’t want to start hating

the song because I didn’t really love it in the first place. “Every song that I record, I have to make sure it’s a song that I really care about and love, so I think that translates into what you hear.” Turner’s concert with special guest Raquel Cole will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Tickets are available for $26, $38, $54 and $75 by calling the Honeywell Center Box Office at 260-5631102 or online at honeywellcenter.org.

NORTH MANCHESTER — The theme of Manchester U n i v e r s i t y Homecoming this year is “Game On!” Set for Oct. 7-8,

each day is packed with traditions, including the popular Encore Lecture Series with emeriti and current faculty members, the Chime Concert, bonfire and H o m e c o m i n g Concert.

Supporting individual success Arc of Wabash County is another beneficiary of this year’s cook off. The organization provides a variety of programs and services to meet the needs of adults and children with developmental disabilities, according to Linda Johnson, program director. Arc began as a “grass-roots effort” in 1954 as The School of Hope and has changed over the years to what

Everything Cakes!

it offers today, Johnson told The Paper. “On a monthly basis, Arc of Wabash County, Inc., serves approximately 100 consumers and their families, 50 plus local individuals, businesses and service providers through volunteerism and work experiences,” she said. “General social services and information is provided monthly to an average of an additional 20 people/organizations.” The organization provides work experiences, pre-vocational services community employment services, transportation, supported living services, recreation and leisure programs, counseling

and advocacy among other programs, according to Johnson. Chili for Charity’s donation will support individuals in service areas that are underfunded or those that are not funded through any direct funding source, according to Johnson. “Having the ability to use these funds in any area of service need allows Arc flexibility and improves service sustainability,” Johnson said. “Chili for Charity funds also increase the possibility of other grant opportunities that require a match of local funds. “Thank you very much for including Arc of Wabash County, Inc., as a 2016 Chili for Charity

recipient. We greatly appreciate this opportunity and will use the funds to support citizens of Wabash County improve their quality of life.” Keeping history alive The Chili Cook Off ’s donations will also go to benefit the event’s home base, Paradise Spring Historical Park. Every year, the park hosts many fundraising and cultural events and is visited by thousands, according to Sam Frazier, Paradise Spring Historical Park Board President. “The Paradise Spring Historical Park Board is an elected board of directors from Wabash

County,” Frazier told The Paper. “The mission of the board is to maintain the structural and historic accuracy of the cabins located at the site of the 1826 treaty between the United States Government and indigenous Indian tribes.” The board became a non-for-profit organization in the early 1980s, he continued, and the cook-off ’s donations would assist with maintaining the historical sites within the park. “As with past grants of funding from Chili Fest, all monies are used to buy materials from the continued maintenance of the cabins,” Frazier said. “For example, an old, period-correct log could cost in excess of $1,000. “The money from the Chili Fest enables us to purchase items that are so necessary for our cabin maintenance and restoration projects. Without this funding, the cabins would conceivably deteriorate quickly.” Frazier said he’d like to personally thank the Chili Cook Off committee for this year’s funding and its many years of support.

Grid sectional pairings selected

Norse post lone grid win By The Paper staff

The Northfield Norsemen posted the lone Wabash County win on Friday night in high school football action. Northfield defeated Maconaquah 53-7, while Peru edged Southwood, 29-28, North Miami defeated Wabash, 41-7, and Whitko downed Manchester, 31-20. Norse win Jensen Frieden rushed for 140 yards and two touchdowns while John Schuler added another 107 yards and two touchdowns for the Norsemen. Also scoring for the Norse were Daniel Driscoll on a 62-yard punt return, Jackson Berry on a 57-yard run, Kam Cole on a fumble recovery and Cole Rosen on a 20yard pass from Levi Fulkerson. Squires fall The 0-5 Manchester Squires went toe-totoe with 4-1 Whitko Friday night, leading until midway through the second quarter, and trailing by just five points in the third Josh Shepherd opened Manchester’s scoring on a two-yard run, and Hayes Sturtsman hit Devon Rooney for a twopoint conversion to take an 8-0 lead Whitko struck back with three touchdowns in the second quarter, taking a 19-8 lead with 38 seconds left in the half. Sturtsman scored on a 63-touchdown run with 14 seconds left to cut it to 19-14. Peru edges Knights Zach Ball and Peyton Trexler each scored two touchdowns off of Carson Blair passes, but it wasn’t enough as the Peru Tigers edged Southwood. Blair finished the night 11 of 19 for 267 yards. Trexler was the leading receiver, catching two passes for 121 yards, while Ball gained 88 yards on his two receptions. Apaches lose After starting the season 4-0, the Wabash Apaches dropped its third straight game and third straight TRC contest.

Apaches top Manchester to capture tennis title By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com PERU - A dominating performance in four of the five individual matches gave the Wabash Apaches boys’ tennis team the sectional championship last week, topping the Manchester Squires 5-0. Wabash gave up just four games in the singles matches and the number one doubles match to advance to the Culver Academies Regional on Tuesday and Wednesday. “It feels great to be sectional champions,” Wabash coach Junior Carrillo said. “Wabash has had some tradition, and I felt like we have a standard to hold our team to. Dan Ford is a good coach, and Rick Mitchell did a lot of good things for Wabash, and I wanted to make sure we didn’t let that down.” At the number one single spot, Luke Mattern beat Luke Donathan 6-0, 6-2, while Rob Ford bested Spence Trick 60, 6-1 at two singles, and Alex Driscoll beat Logan Parrett 6-0, 6-0 at three singles. In doubles play, Cal Stone and Asif Khan had no trouble with Heath

Dierks and Parker Wagoner in a 6-1, 60 win. In the closest match of the night, Matt Stein and Ayden Kocher held off a stubborn Manchester team of Kyle Shepherd and Uria Hein in three sets, 6-3, 5-7, 6-3. “It’s been a really good season and a good run for us,” Carrillo said. “It’s nothing but smiles for us. “I told the guys that I wanted them to get conference and sectionals,” he continued. “I wanted to get them to the Culver Regional and show them what that looks like. It’s a lot of fun. They felt like that might be possible, and they did it.” Manchester coach Eric Screeton added, “Wabash is a great team with quality players up and down their lineup. Their guys play the game the right way and are a real class act. They deserved this sectional championship. “I am also extremely proud of our team, and I enjoyed watching their growth and development this season,” he continued. “You know it’s a good season and a good group of young men when you can’t wait to get back to work with them.”

Manchester girls win TRC soccer title Manchester defeated Peru 3-1 on Wednesday to become the Three Rivers Conference champions. Carsyn Howard put the Squires up early with her goal within the first minutes of the game. The rest of the first half both teams remained scoreless. After Peru's goal in the second half, Elizabeth Anguilm scored to put Manchester back in the lead.

Bailey Mooney sealed the game with the third goal. Brooklyn Howard, Bethany Collett, Jirni Cripe, Ellie Milam, and Bailey Sewell all had shots on goal. Melissa Saucedo, Olivia Dockter, Brittany Montel, and Haley Clifford helped lead Manchester to victory with their defense.

The Apaches advanced to the championship round with a tough 3-2 win over rival Peru Wednesday night. Wabash swept the singles matches, but it wasn’t an easy team win. Mattern won 6-1, 6-1, and Ford won 62, 6-4. Peru took both doubles matches in three sets, with Stone and Khan losing 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, and Stein and Kocher lost 26, 6-3, 6-0. All eyes turned to the three singles match-up where Driscoll pulled out a clutch 6-2, 5-7, 6-2 win. The Squires also went the distance in their first round match by beating Maconaquah 3-2. Manchester swept the doubles play with a 6-7 (1), 6-0, 6-2 win by Dierks and Wagoner, while Shepherd and Hein dominated with a 6-1, 6-1 win. The Braves took two singles wins with Donathan losing 6-0, 6-0, and Parrett falling short 6-1, 6-2. Trick got Manchester’s only singles win at two singles 6-4, 6-4. Wabash faces Plymouth in first round of the Culver Academies regional Tuesday at 5:00 p.m.

Dale competes at state golf finals CARMEL -- Dayna Dale ended her incredibly successful high school golf career Friday and Saturday at the state finals, shooting 85 both days to finish in a tie for 50th place.

Small Business Revolution web series premieres ...continued from the front page

LAGRO

The first episode looked at the City of Wabash and some of the problems it faces. The second was a look at the former Harry’s Old Kettle Saloon, now known as Harry’s Old Kettle Pub and Grill. Before the screenings, Amanda Brinkman, Deluxe’s Chief Brand and Communications Officer, had a Skype conversation with the crowd. She was in New York City on a media tour to promote the web series. “I’ve got to say, people are loving them already,” she said. “So, they’re falling in love with Wabash the same way we did. It’s so exciting.” Brinkman apologized for not being in Wabash for the premiere, but said it was important to be in New York to help spread the word of the series. “Times Square is fun,” she said. “But you guys are more fun.” Brinkman said she would be in Wabash in October to watch the last two episodes of the series. “You’ll see it the night before the rest of the world,” she said. Cameron Potts, Vice President of Public Relations and C o m m u n i t y Management at Deluxe Corporation - Deluxe Corporation, told the crowd that Brinkman

and series co-host Robert Herjavec, conducted 52 media interviews with outlets from around the United States. “Also, the Wall Street Journal’s doing a story,” he said. “Entrepreneur magazine is doing a story. Money Magazine, so it’s getting all sorts of public attention. Your story is going to be all over the United States in the next few weeks.” Kilmer, who had watched the program online earlier in the day, sat surrounded by family and friends, eyes fixed on the Eagles’ big screen. “Unbelievable,” he told The Paper of Wabash County following the event. “It was emotional. Everyone I’ve talked to who has seen it said it brought them to tears. I fought back tears a couple of times. It’s awesome. I can’t even begin to describe it.” The program looked at Kilmer and his wife Judy’s efforts to purchase the Old Kettle Saloon, put their own brand on it and eventually bring food to the establishment. The couple has faced numerous hurdles and each have full-time jobs in addition to their work at the bar. The Deluxe team helped rebrand the establishment, changing its name to Harry’s Old Kettle Pub and

Grill, giving them new business cards, a new menu, a new Facebook page, helping them finish installing cooking equipment and presenting them with a new smoker. One question that kept cropping up from customers, the Kilmers admitted during the program, was when were they going to begin serving food. “The last piece of the equation is that I’ve got some signage that had to be hung, an electrical relay that had to be put in place for emergency shutoff for my electrical equipment,” he said, noting the relay was to be installed the following day. “Now I’ll be able to call for all of my inspections. I’ve been holding off getting my inspections. Once that’s in I can call for the fire marshal, building inspector, health inspector. … So I’m hoping (this) week we’re up and running.” Among those watching the program with Kilmer was his mother, Mona. “I think it’s wonderful,” she said. “I’m so happy and anxious for him. I know he’ll just do a great job. He always has when he was in these cooking ventures he’s been involved with.” Wabash Marketplace Inc. Executive Director Steve Downs said fol-

lowing the screening that he was pleased with the first two episodes and is looking forward to the remaining episodes. “I am very impressed and very gratified with the product that has come out,” he told The Paper following the screening. “I think they made Wabash look wonderful. I think they made Harry’s Old Kettle Pub and Grill look magnificent. I’m very, very happy.” The next two – one featuring Ellen’s Bridal and Dress Boutique and the other featuring Filament Tattoo – can be seen Tuesday, Oct. 4, at www.smallbusinisrevolution.org. Filament owner Matt Haynes said he was anxious to see his episode. “After seeing this, I’m very anxious,” he said. “I didn’t watch it. I knew it was up this morning but I decided I was going to wait and watch it with my friends and my kids here and watch it on the big screen. “They did such a great job, kind of laying out our struggles as well as our successes. I’m very excited Haynes talked briefly about what Deluxe officials did to help his business, but noted he didn’t want to give away too much. “You can see looking

It’s been such a pleasure to work with the team from Deluxe. …To see that this is not just a gimmick or marketing ploy; they really do care about people and the love and care and concern that they constantly expressed to the people here in Wabash.” Lisa Downs, owner of Ellen’s, also is anxious to see the next episode on Tuesday. “Again, seeing the quality of the first two episodes, I know I’m in good hands and am really looking forward to them telling the story.” Like Haynes, she didn’t want to disclose too much of what Deluxe did for her business. “They worked with our website,” she said.

“We do have a beautiful, new storefront. They gave us a lot of marketing ideas and

packaging. We feel like a real bridal shop now. It’s been very encouraging to all our staff.”

Wabash WebTv cameraman pulls 3 from burning vehicle

Wabash resident Donald Collins is a hero. On Sunday morning, Sept. 25, Collins, a Wabash WebTv cameraman and Midwest Eye Lens Source lab technician, was returning to Wabash from a good day of raccoon hunting at a competition in Andrews when he happened across a terrifying scene, a singlevehicle accident wherein the vehicle caught fire. “I was heading home and I live on the county line of Wabash and Peru,” Collins, 27, told The Paper of Wabash County. “It was 2 a.m. … I’m very familiar with the area. I passed Falls Avenue and I saw a glow and I thought the pallet factory was on fire and, the closer I got, when I hit Stitt Street I knew it wasn’t the pallet

factory. The closer I got, the worse it was. “I came across this scene of a burning car that had rolled over on its side and tipped over on its top.” According to the preliminary crash investigation by Indiana State Trooper Jeremy Perez, a 2000 Buick Park Avenue driven by Dakota Jackson, 25, Kokomo, was westbound on U.S. 24, west of Stitt Street, when Jackson lost control of the Buick. The vehicle then crossed the grass median and the eastbound lanes of U.S. 24, rolled and slid across Old U.S. 24 before coming to a rest on its top in a ditch. “There was one guy ejected that had come to when I had got there and I calmed him down,” Collins said, “and asked him how many more people were in the car.” The man, Michael A. Grenier Jr., 23,

Peru, then assisted Collins in rescuing three others that were still inside the burning vehicle. According to the police report, Jackson was flown from the crash scene by medical helicopter to a Fort Wayne hospital. He suffered from numerous severe injuries and is currently in critical condition, according to Collins, who has visited him several times since the accident. Derik R. Stearns, 26, Logansport, a backseat passenger, was flown by a medical helicopter to a Fort Wayne hospital where he later died from injuries he sustained in the crash. Brianna N. Thomas, 20, Peru, also a backseat passenger, was transported by ambulance to a Wabash hospital. She sustained a back injury. Grenier was a front seat passenger and transported by ambulance to a Wabash

Wabash Sheriff ’s Department Accidents Sept. 23 At 2:37 p.m., a vehicle driven by Akiva H. Abraham, 22, South Bend, was traveling westbound on SR 16 when he stopped at the intersection of SR 13, attempted to pro-

hospital. He sustained injuries to his hands and arms and was treated and released. Upon arriving at the scene, Collins admitted to The Paper that he didn’t know what to do, but he did something. “It was tunnel vision when I got out of the truck,” he said. “I was just on a roll. Really, I think everything that I knew that I had done and I had done it right was because I grew up with EMTs, I grew up with first responders and I’ve seen a lot of accidents. “However, that’s the worst one that I ever came across myself.” Since then, Collins hadn’t slept well until after Stearns’ viewing on Wednesday, Sept. 28. “From Sunday until (Wednesday), I didn’t get a wink of sleep, I didn’t eat,” Collins said. “Not being able to sleep is (because) of the pictures I have in my head with them

the way they looked when I drug them out of the car. It was the most gruesome thing I’ve ever dealt with in my life. Seeing people you know you can’t help until the people who can help get there, it just burns an image in your eyes.” However, despite his struggle, Collins told The Paper he’d still recommend to everyone to help someone in need. “A lot of people pull over and call the cops. A lot of people call the cops and drive by, but the way I look at it is I follow the good Lord and if I have a brother or sister in need, I’m going to help them,” he said. “They needed my help. He had put me there to help them (because) they needed me. “I’d rather both legs broken than watching them burn up.” Divine intervention played a major role in the situation, according to Collins. “I left with my

Trooper Perez stated in his report that he believes the use of alcohol, excess speed-

As a word of warning to his fellow drivers, Collins said he’d like to tell everyone never to drink and drive. “Don’t drink and drive, don’t text and drive, and please don’t get in a car with anybody at a party that you have a slight suspicion of has been drinking, because (neglecting) that suspicion could kill you,” he said.

THE PAPER

October 5, 2016

Second Harvest Food Bank receives grant By The Paper staff MUNCIE –Second Harvest Food Bank of East Central Indiana announced that it has received a grant of $10,500 through the Glick “Feeding Those in Need” program, which aims to help feed those who are hungry or have food insecurity. The goal is to increase access to nutritious food to those in need in the communities where Gene B. Glick Company apartment communities are located. The food program for seniors and families will be established at the Fairington Apartments in Anderson and the Carriage House Apartments and Cambridge Square Apartments in Muncie. All grantees, including Second Harvest, were nominated by local Glick staff, who gave input about area food programs and which organizations could best make use of the funding. This grant program is a new initiative of The Glick Fund at Central Indiana Community Foundation (CICF), a

part of Glick Philanthropies. The inaugural grants, totaling more than $250,000, were awarded to 38 organizations across five states. Gene and Marilyn Glick instilled philanthropic values in their own family and in the institutions they created including the Gene B. Glick Company, which is one of the largest privately owned property management firms in the U.S. Today, their legacy lives on through the generosity of the Glick Philanthropies (including the Glick Family Foundation and The Glick Fund), the members of the Glick family and the Gene B. Glick Company. “We are very excited to begin this important new program by partnering with The Glick Fund in providing food assistance to seniors and their families. Cambridge Square Apartments and Carriage House Apartments in Muncie and Fairington Apartments in Anderson will be the initial locations of this program,” said Tim Kean, president & CEO,

Second Harvest Food Bank. “One of our most important values is supporting the communities where our properties are located,” said David O. Barrett, president and CEO of the Gene B. Glick Company and the Glick Family Foundation. “We aim to help children, families and seniors who struggle to have consistent access to high-quality, nutritious food. The ‘Feeding Those in Need’ program is one way to help address this issue.” According to the USDA, one in six Americans faces hunger on a regular basis. Food insecurity, defined as a lack of access to or enough food, tops 20 percent in households with children. “I couldn’t be prouder of our company’s longstanding tradition of service to our communities,” Barrett said. “This new grant program is another way we can fulfill our mission of being the industry leader in corporate social responsibility as well as fulfilling the mission of the Glick Philanthropies.”
